Common Furnace Problems in Albany

Published on January 09, 2017

We’ve reviewed some of Albany’s usual heating and furnace problems previously, but we’re back with a couple more issues that could cause your heating system to fail in the middle of this terrible cold.

Lack of Maintenance

Not only does seasonal heating maintenance help your furnace run up to 30% more efficiently and extend the life of the equipment, it’s also expected by most manufacturers to continue your furnace’s warranty. For these reasons, you should absolutely invest in seasonal furnace tune-ups. Catching little issues early can help stop them from becoming huge (expensive!) furnace problems.

System Wear and Tear

If you’re running your heating equipment all winter long to keep warm, typical wear and tear on the parts is to be expected – especially in older heating equipment. Wear and tear on your belts and bearings can cause the furnace to overheat or result in issues with the fan motors, creating air flow problems.

Clogged Air Filters

If you use a conventional furnace air filter, you should be replacing it monthly. If you are not, it not only affects the air you breathe, the dirt and bacteria accumulation could cause air flow restrictions within the heating system. This will mean your furnace has to work much harder to warm your home, likely putting too much stress on the components and, in turn, causing your heating bills to increase .

Thermostat Malfunctions

Your thermostat is the appliance that tells your heating equipment when it’s time to come on and fill your home with warm air, and when it’s time to stop. If the thermostat is not calibrated or working accurately, it could mean that your furnace is turning on and off every five minutes, going all day long, or not kicking on at all.
